    2/0/2, I pretty much did it twice if it wasn't for his Recovery move.

    Surgical Strike takes me down in one hit but I can survive X-Force. Matching Recovers is a death sentence, too.
    I had 15 health packs and lost every time. Seemed every board was full of blue, purple, yellow and black. Very little red or green, so even if I did manage to scrape together Countdown For What it would be very difficult to match the greens anyway.

    Pretty much every single board was like that.

    My Xpool was level 170 4/3/3, but I lost two times because lucky cascades for the AI and the power of Recovery. Every single match, even the one I won, he got time to cast Recovery. But three is the charm and I got him the third time.

    I thought it was going to be easier though, Surgical is easy to deny ( except when there is a cascade) but I had to let him cast green so it would destroy my fake countdowns, but then the AI would get miraculous cascades and then cast recovery. The problem I guess is that Xpool had just two utile powers, and one is a little bit expensive and the other one needed assistance from the enemy, at your own risk icon_razz.gif

    Ps: I still dont know how are we supposed to win with ProfX if we cant use team ups (or we fight against someone like Patch).

    First attempt was successful, level 152 XDP at 4/2/1 covers. +2 R/Y AP, +100% match damage, +50% R/Y match damage.

    First one in my bracket to clear everything today as well. Huzzah.

    I do this in the PVP events as well, whoever is the biggest challenge is the one I attempt. I don't always win but I like the challenge.
    I do this in pvp too unless I'm hopping. last offseason I took on hb/thing/xpool and won (with thor/loki/hood - activated thing's protects and flipped them into strikes - then had xpool to deal with but I squeaked it out) and recently took on an icebuster with ice over 300 (with drock/fist/Cyclops - may have been beast, don't remember). if its early enough in the events those teams are usually worth 60-75 pts if you can queue them and I like to see if I can beat it. I don't take that chance when hopping.

    I fear no team, some call it bravery most call it stupidity. To me the real challenges are the ones I set myself, like taking On the biggest team I can find. Or masochistic undercovered legendary ddq attempts, or trying to match Damage boosted juggs to death. Though recently that last one nearly made Me snap my phone ha haha

    My 1/0/0 attempt went entirely as expected. Ol' DP may as well have just thrown a taco at him and committed seppuku on his swords.

    I **** hate this game. After 17 attempts I finally get it. And what do I draw? A surgical strike cover. The ONLY 4* skill that I have 5 of already. The only **** one!

    And what was my last draw from the last of these that I managed to finish? A **** surgical strike. Didn't need it then either. This game hates me, and I hate it.

    Mine is 2/0/1 at level 90. Just got X-Force down to 191 and lost. This node needs to scale.

    I tried about 20+ times with my 2/0/0 XDP. Saw the sale and got me 2 more red covers. Took another 17 tries with my level 127 4/0/0 XDP and finally got it done. I got a really lucky board on the last try with lots of red. Good thing too as I was ready to buy a bunch of damage boosts.

    5/0/1 XFDP, level 150. No real problem: got killed once when his green led to a cascade that gave him enough black for a Surgical Strike, but made it through easily the second time. Just deny green and black, build red. Kind of dreading the next one: Goddess, maybe?

    My saved vault switched over earlier today. Yes, Goddess.

    Beat it with a 3/2/0 level 127 on my 18th try. Boost r/y and damage boost +50% r/y and g/b. The key seems to be to do only match damage and let him fire off his yellow the first time. All while saving up enough red to fire it twice.

    No joy for me this week. My DP is 2-2-0, which in a solo match is the same as 2-0-0. Tried 10 times, and each time got a board with tons of black and green and next to no red. Twice, I managed to get XFW to below 2000 HP, and each time the bastard put down a recovery tile and then matched it himself, wiping me out. I give up.

    Well, not entirely the same. You can go about 14 levels higher, which makes a difference.

    Well, OK, it did let me take a couple of extra hits before I wiped. icon_razz.gif

    Just wondered if any of the mods know if anyone has conquered a 4* DDQ with 2 covers or less? Or what the least amount of covers it was that beat any 4* node?

    I've come close twice now (though I was much closer to XFW than Hulk) with a 2 cover DP and 1 cover IMHB.

    Beat mine on the 7th try with 3/1/0 xfdp
    Just match black away like your life depends on it (it does) and build red, wait for him to heal up your puny match damage and hit him with all you've got
    No countdown for what made it harder than it should be, but made it anyway, then the game mocks me with a surgical strike draw from the legendary
    Anyway got through with +2 r/y, +20% r/y, +50% all

    I saved my legendary tokens from this and the weekend PvP until the Legendary upgrade today. One gave icon_elektra.pngpurpleflag.png and the other icon_falcon.pngredflag.png. Both were needed, but neither was exciting.
